Default Pruning a Kousa

mine does too, but it is a growing, gangling teenager right now, I expect as it hits
its expected height it will begin to put on more weight in the main trunk. after the
flush of spring growth it does seem to straighten up a bit. INgrid

Our kousa dogwood has become rather floppy topped - it is reaching for more
sun. Transplanting is not an option. What about pruning back some branches?

We live in SW Pennsylvania. Best time of year to do this?
